The Importance of Prayer

The Importance of Prayer

Dear Church Family,

Good News! God is continuing to bless East Ridge. His Spirit is moving. Our numbers are growing. We have experienced NO summer slump. With school starting and vacation season ending, we are expecting to see things to continue to improve. 
Last Sunday night we had one of the largest attendances in an evening service that I can remember which is probably partially due to the new class “Facing the Storm” that Bro. John is teaching regarding what is happening in our nation as Satan is attacking Christian people, specifically us as Southern Baptists. John gave a general overview as to how what has happened to the SBC is just part of the overall attack against our country as the Socialists/Communists/Marxist try to take over. For them to win, they must eliminate Bible-believing Christian churches and denominations. One of their tactics is to cause division, which they are doing. They also paint Christians as evil hate-filled bigots who are responsible for many of the social ills. As they do that, they try to convince the church that the main mission of the church is to correct social injustice instead of caring out the Great Commission of  making disciples by leading lost people to Christ. This is called The Social Gospel, which is not the true Gospel. We must beware. We must pray as we stand firmly on the Word of God.
The class will continue next week with more specifics. I would encourage everyone to attend. The spiritual war is raging and we are in it. 
This week we did prayer walks at 2 elementary schools and had an excellent attendance, as well as, acceptance from the teachers in those schools.
Also, we would like to invite all men to join us praying this Friday night at 7 PM. I will not preach. There will be no food served, nor an offering received. Just men praying.
Each man is free to pray as long as he wishes in the manner that he is comfortable with. No pressure to pray aloud.
Don’t forget. PAUL’S JOURNEY will be at East Ridge this Sunday night at 6:30 PM! Bring a friend!
We love you.
See you Sunday.
Tell somebody about Jesus.

If you're a parent, you've probably had moments yo If you're a parent, you've probably had moments you'd like to do over. Moments when you were distracted, impatient, or when you missed an opportunity.

The good news is that our hope isn't found in being perfect parents.
Our hope is found in a perfect Savior.

If you've ever felt like you've fallen short, this clip is for you.
Most dads want to give their kids opportunities th Most dads want to give their kids opportunities they never had. But in the process, it's possible to focus so much on building a career, paying the bills, and providing for the future that we forget what matters most right now.

A dad can provide a house and still fail to build a home.

Here's a good reminder that our greatest investment isn't what we leave for our children, but what we instill in them.
The fear of God is a healthy understanding of His The fear of God is a healthy understanding of His strength and love. When we understand that, there's truly nothing to fear!

As dads, it's easy to think our biggest responsibi As dads, it's easy to think our biggest responsibility is providing for our families. While providing matters, our families need more than a paycheck.

They need our time, our attention, and our presence.

People listen to what we say, but they learn even People listen to what we say, but they learn even more from how we live. Our reactions, priorities, decisions, and actions all communicate what we truly believe. The message your life preaches often speaks louder than the words you say.

Real love isn't always comfortable. Sometimes love Real love isn't always comfortable. Sometimes love requires the courage to speak truth when it matters most. While truth should always be shared with grace and kindness, there are moments when remaining silent can cause more harm than speaking up.
